Modifiers[]
Multiplier[]
Rapidly increases by remaining airborne or sliding for a certain amount of time, this includes the rocket surf time and Whiplash's airtime when pulling yourself towards the enemy or vice versa; maximum of x3.00. Changes color from white to orange to red as it increases from x1.00 to x2.00 to x3.00. Multiplier is rapidly lost after touching the ground. Landing on an enemy counts towards touching the ground. Sliding on slopes or clinging on walls counts as airtime.
Weapon Freshness[]
Weapon freshness has 4 states for determining the current weapon's style point multiplier: Fresh (1.5x), Used (1x), Stale (0.5x) and Dull (0x). The decrease in multiplier is based on style actions: the more style is built up, the lower the multiplier will be. The multiplier for a weapon regenerates by using other weapons, or slowly over time while the gun is unequipped. To maintain a high weapon freshness, it is advised to switch weapons frequently.
When the player has only a single gun equipped, the freshness will not fall below "Fresh", if two, it will not go lower than "Used" and if three, it will not go lower than "Stale". Number of arms equipped will not affect the freshness threshold.
Style Penalty[]
Taking damage will immediately drop you down to the previous style rank, then deduct style points, calculated as Damage x 5. This penalty is not affected by difficulty.
Thus, taking 25 damage deducts 125 points, while 50 damage deducts 250. While environmental damage will deduct points, self-inflicted damage will not.
Bosses[]
Any form of damage which results in style points is multiplied by 1.5 times if that damage was dealt to a Boss (i.e. an enemy which has a Boss Bar).
